How to Reset and clear Ipod touch

I have an Ipod Touch that was given to me and I want to reset and clear all content. It is requesting a 4 digit # code.  Any idea how to get that code?

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Restore to factory default/new iPod.

    What do you mean by "inactivated ipod touch"?  If you did this using Find My iPhone, then you cannot reset it remotely if inactive.

    - On the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will also have to rejoin wifi networks.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod inRecovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • How to Restore and unlock IPOD touch

    ok, he is where I am at:
    Daughters friend IPOD Touch displays red disabled screen
    Unable to enter password.
    Did restore and at approx 50% don with restore download, itunes says unable to connect due to it being locked. Enter password.
    I have password, but unable to enter password.
    Computer being used for restore is different from previous computer used
    Ok to wipe device of all data
    I am stuck with it because, my daughter said my Dad can do anything.
    I am Android/blackberry fellow, so no jokes and I am not use to being locked down like this.
    Any way to get out of this circle of need to enter password, to do a full restore?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • 8310 Password Enabled Locked....How to reset and clear lock to disable password?

    My 8310 phone has a lock on the Password Enabled, and I can't clear or change setting to disable password. Also, the security time out is locked, so I can't change the time either. Please help, I want to reset the phone so that it isn't locked and I can disable the security password.

    Yes. If you know who's company is was a part of, the BES admistrator can send a default IT policy to device to remove any restrictions from the device. I also found you can try removing the policy yourself. I've never tried this, but here's a link describing how to do so: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Remove_IT_Policy

  • How to reset/restore frozen ipod touch?

    My 3 week old Ipod is now frozen with a white screen and some vertical lines.  I've tried resetting it many times by holding the on/off button and home button at the same time for various lengths of time.  When I plug it into my PC to restore it, itunes doesn't even recognize it's plugged in.  Help?

    That does not always works. Here is Apple's complete instructions:

  • I did a clear data and reset on my ipod touch and upon restart it is frozen. How do I fix it?

    I did a clear data and reset on my ipod touch and upon restart it is frozen. How do I fix it? I have already done the ten second hold restart with the top button and bottom button, but it still freezes. What should I do?

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How can I fix my iPod touch while it's plugged in I can go on the Internet but when I unplug it and try to go on the Internet the iPod will turn off

    How can I fix my iPod touch. It will allow me to go on the Internet while it's plugged in but when I take it off the charger and go on the Internet the iPod will shut off. I have tried to reboot the iPod but it still does it.

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. Problem: no Genius bar in India. Theories?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just got a new Iphone 4. My husband already has an iphone 4 and an Ipod touch, with itunes set up on 2 different computers. How can I access the songs on either of his itunes accounts?

    How do I get access to Itunes if my husband has already downloaded itunes on our 2 computers and his iphone 4 is the device for one computer and the ipod touch is the device for the second? I have already set up my own itunes account, but it doesn't recognize my phone on either of the computers. Do I need to down load a second itunes software on the computer just for my new device. That would seem ridiculous considering we are married and share all of the music together. Please help

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.
